Life’s Advertising Pages Our readers who glance over Lire’s advertising pages with possibly a super- fcial eye, will notice that they contain a mixture of original and clipped mat rial, and they may possibly get the pression that such material, because it can be obtained broadcast, is inserted for purposes of economy.

And the next moment you can be listening to the gems of song from the sparkling musical comedies, or being entertained by the leading fun-makers, It is only a step from grand opera and the classical to the lighter forms of music, for the Victor is wonderfully versatile and changes at will from grand opera to ragtime, from minstrel show to sacred music, from vocal selections to instrumental numbers; the very music you like best at the very time you want to hear it.

It is likely at any time to be almost as good as the advertisements, which, as everybody knows, are the best things in any paper.
